I wonder if they're going to implement some kind of AI buffer between syadmins and their key infrastructure.

HAL: I'm sorry, Reyansh. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Funnily enough my company used this as a justification to not move everything we have to the cloud, especially since our new VP is an Amazon nut

His mistake cost at least $150 million... dude's probably just waiting for the ground to swallow him up at this point.

Errors at my workplace are usually categorized as: that could have been bad, someone got hurt, and someone died. It's always weird to me to remember that you can fuckup royal at work without killing someone.

Doubt it. Mistyping a command happens. I don't think that's the real offence here. The real problem is that there was no safeguard in place to prevent the typo from doing so much damage. And the responsibility for that is probably so diffuse that nobody will get fired. Instead they'll just build in the safeguards now, and that's that.

As someone who has done this a few times, you will get fired as soon as the manager knows it was you. There's zero compassion or respect for the wisdom that comes from these types of mistakes.

Exactly. They're gonna have to redesign their production systems interface so that you can't make this kind of mistake there.

Don't fire that person. It is hard to find anyone with enough guts to type commands like that one. Plus, you are guaranteed that they will know that commands proper syntax in the future.

You shouldn't ever be typing that kind of command in production. Your prod environment should be set up so that commands like that aren't typed.
